Weather Report..................

[2cv]

Having left 29 degrees this time yesterday in Palm Desert we just arrived home to 2 degrees. However despite the wonderful weather and scenery in California I still feel very lucky to live in the United Kingdom. We had good views of the Surrey countryside on our approach to London, an unbeatable landscape. Then approaching Glasgow had a lovely sunset out towards Arran.

Yes, it looks like we timed our escape well.
We've got 3 heaters on .
The rain is only odd spells of drizzle .
But a Bacalhao Com Natas..( Salt cod in a creamy sauce ), washed down with a dry Alentejo White, .. Compensated for the lack of sunshine

Headed off to Findhorn for a couple of nights in the van. This was the Rhynie to Dufftown Road yesterday en route.

looks lovely, Tony.
But being a complete softy... That's about as near to the white stuff as I ever want to be.
It's 9 degrees, calm and the Sun's breaking through.
Might even be able to turn the 1.5 kw Dimplex off, soon.

It's damp, grey, still, about 5°C.
Something has to be done about this.

There are a number of options, Colin.. You're free, over 21 and only here the once.
If you go back to the Canaries, where this thread started, Please take a high capacity smug filter..
It reached 14 degrees, today's max, so I walked into the village. Coffee arrived with a generous glass of premium brandy. Well, it's definitely Winter. 2.40€.., just over £ 2.. That'll have to do.
NW. gusts bringing the temperature down and the clouds in.
Luckily we managed lunch outdoors. Nice to have fresh, young Nasturtiums on the salad.

Not a bad day here, sun out, wind calm, mild enough to head into town without the need of a jacket, just a bodywarmer !

Thank you so much, Paul!
I've been moping around feeling sorry for myself all day. I'd overlooked the possibility of following your modus operandi and simply moving, albeit temporarily, to a clime more suited to one who was born to occupy red beauties.
I'll start looking at my options post haste.
Again, thank you.

Though I suspect that you may well regret your insightful advice.

Well it stayed fine yesterday until mid-afternoon so we managed a quick trip to Chester Zoo to see the new lion enclosure, very impressive and up close and personal .......



Started fine with a hint of blue this morning so some outside jobs beckon.........

 

[Pauljenny]

Breakfast outdoors, at the crack of 9.
Cloudless blue skies, no breeze..
Pretty close to perfect.
Oh oh, the Smugometer is flashing amber.
